In Norse mythology, the Valkyries are the female spirits who choose those who may die with honor in the battlefield and are sent to Valhalla.Tariah is known for her numerous love affairs with human men and for assisting Odin in transporting his chosen warriors into the afterlife where they will fight by his side during Ragnarok.Sister to Skarah and her most powerful rival in the great halls of Valhalla, Tariah is an unparalleled warrior who craves for the opportunity to defeat her sibling in combat and take her place as Odin's favorite.

Another striking and beautifully executed over-the-top fantasy set from TBLeague. I like it, but these are getting to look a little cliched to me personally -- and have been for a long while, although I have and like the first Arhian they did, as well as their so-called "Spartan Goddess of War." I prefer somewhat more realistic fantasy warriors, and those tend to be the stuff of kitbashing and customizing. The beautifully ornate elements here might be too much even for that, but perhaps I'm lacking in imagination. I do like the fur elements and the stitched detail on the shoes.

A pretty enough figure ... though nothing particular 'Norwegian' about it to my eyes.

In all seriousness though, while I get that many of these tbleague offerings are intended as fantastical depictions of mythological figures, I personally find them too generic in design to be of interest. It's not even the skimpiness or over the top nature of the outfits so much as it is the fact they all seem indistinguishable from one another. If this had stronger nods to Viking art, 19th century Romantic depictions of Vikings, or just... something -- anything -- to provide it with a bit more cultural context or artistic relevance, then I'd be 100% more on board.

Looking at the labeling, it appears this is yet another crossover from ARH -- and I wouldn't know to what extent this corresponds to something they have designed. Could be based on a variant (a lot of them do look very similar to each other, as you point out) or just "inspired" by it.

Amen

O.K. This one is better than the Style before, but no. Thank You. This is a very special way to show female characters the Friends in Asia have. I see this in MMO´s. Show me a Game Character and i can tell You is this MMO from Korea or not.

For better or worse I'm a complete sucker for this style of figure from TBL - detailed armor, seamless body, and gorgeous portrait - I will never not love that combination I have this on preorder, so look for studio shots of her whenever she shows up...

Like the New Arhian, this is more of an upgrade on an existing model than anything else, and there's little enough variation between different models in this 'fantasy warrior' genre to begin with.

That said, as with the New Arhian, in the promo pics at least it's a very nice head sculpt, so I might pick that up on it's own. But then again, there's not that much variation between this sculpt, New Arhian and Nancy in Hell (the only full TBL set I currently have on order), so for me one of these sculpts is going to have fall by the wayside.
